Jeremy Frenier brings a career-best 14 IMCA Modified feature wins and the Phillips County Raceway crown to Boone Speedway. He wants to gain new accolades this week at Boone.

The Fast Shafts All-Star Invitational candidate is also eligible to qualify for the Harris Auto Racing Race of Champions. Punching his ticket to the big show on Saturday would be something else entirely.

“Probably 50 percent of the improvement I made this year was seat time,” said Fenier, who landed a plum pit spot just off staging. “The other 50 percent was learning setup and motor combinations.”

He’s got the ultimate reference source in father-in-law to be David Murray Jr., IMCA’s all-time career wins leader. Frenier and fiancée Sarah will tie the knot next September, after Super Nationals and before the Flatlander.
